2022 Runner-Up Ross Eliminated in Level 14
Level 15
: Limits 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
Ben Ross’ goal of making a second straight final table in the WSOP $1,500 Limit Hold’em event came to an end during the second to last level of Day 1.
Ross, who was the runner-up to Michael Moncek in this same event in 2022, was short stacked with less than 5,000 before finding himself in an all-in situation against Bobby Espina, who raised preflop from middle position.
Ross seemed to resign himself to his fate, as he stood to gather his belongings after tabling 5♦ 9♥ and looking across the table at Espina’s Q♠J♥.
The flop of 5♥A♥6♥ provided Ross some hope after he hit bottom pair, but Q♠ on the turn put Espina in the lead with top pair, and then 10♥ on the river gave Espina a flush.
